Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key electrical ratings of the EEE-1CA331AP for automotive power filtering applications?
The EEE-1CA331AP is rated at 330 µF capacitance with a 16 V working voltage, ±20% tolerance, and a ripple current of 380 mA. Its 2000-hour endurance rating at 85°C makes it suitable for automotive ECU power supply stages that require reliable bulk decoupling over extended service life in under-hood or cabin electronics environments.
How does the EEE-1CA331AP's 85°C, 2000-hour lifetime rating compare to standard commercial capacitors for automotive use?
Standard commercial aluminum electrolytic capacitors often carry 1000-hour or 1500-hour ratings at 85°C, while the EEE-1CA331AP offers 2000 hours at 85°C, providing approximately 2x the thermal endurance of typical commercial parts. This extended lifetime is critical in automotive applications where ambient temperatures can routinely reach 70–85°C and service intervals may span several years.
What SMD footprint and packaging does the EEE-1CA331AP require for PCB layout and high-volume assembly?
The EEE-1CA331AP uses a 10 mm diameter by 10.2 mm height SMD aluminum electrolytic package with a standard radial SMD land pattern. It ships in tape-and-reel (T/R) format, enabling automated pick-and-place at standard SMT machine speeds, and is compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes used in automotive-grade PCB manufacturing.
